I have contacted Wintec because the product literature for this product is ambiguous as to whether it works with intel motherboards or all intel-chipset based motherboards.

I would not really describe the process of getting an ADD2 display from my ASUS P5B-VM with such a card at all pleasant. So far, I have gotten nothing out of the display. I suspect it is impossible to configure the bios on the ADD2 display. I do not know if it is possible to get the system to display boot information on the ADD2 display. I have not yet gotten X to display anything on the ADD2 display.

Essentially, while I believe it will probably work, so far nothing works. This is fairly disappointing. I had expected better functionality for open hardware.

The eventual critical step appeared to be to load the Intel driver under windows. After this, I was able to get BIOS, linux console, and X on the DVI output.
